FURTHER FELONIES. q.

The Court, at some length, pro-
ceeded to connect the other felonies in
the case, for instance, that these de-
PENDANTS were the chief movers and
center of all the communistic meetings
in Chicago, and that they were always
pronounced the leaders of the red
flags. The evidence was that there
were Twenty-Five to thirty labor unions
in Chicago at that time, embracing a
membership of from 5000 to 10000.
A large majority Of these men were
honest, industrious men, working for
their daily bread, and had no thought
of anarchy or any of its hate
full doctrines. The assemblage
tor any ordinary purpose
would have been lawful, but
it was conducted as an unlawful as
sembly, and even prior to the arming
and drilling OF troops. was q violation
of the militia laws of the State of
Illinois, as the statute provides that
it shall be unlawful for any company
to drill or parade with arms in the
State without authority.
THE EXTREME PENALTY FIXED.
The argument goes further, and
finds that each of these defendants
has wilfully and maliciously violated
the laws of the State of Illinois, and
that they shall suffer its extreme pen
atty fixed by the Court of Cook County
on the day previously stated.
HOW THEY RECEIVED IT.
Chicago, September 14.,-The dis
patch containing the announcement OF
the Supreme Court decision was sent
to August Spies in his cell this morn
ing. The Anarchist editor took the
message, glanced frowningly at the
attorney who handed it to him and
withdrew to the door of his cell.
In few moments he called gently
to the old man who sits outside his
door as the death-watch, and asked
him to hand the telegram sheet to
Parsons, from whom it was sent to all
the others and at last reached Neebe
who is only under sentence of impris-
onment.
APPARENT NoNCHALANCE.
1t could be seen that each of the
condemned men made ostentatious ef-
forts at coolness and bravado. They
took seats at their cell doors and read
newspapers and books, smoked cigars,
etc. Lingg, the bombardier, whistled.
AN APPEAL TO BE TAKEN.
Captain Black, senior counsel for the
anarchists, when told of the decision
said: "The only remaining course
for us to pursue is to take the case to
the United States Supreme Court. l
shall 60 Immediately before the Su-
preme Court at Ottawa and ask for a
reasonable time to secure a certified
record for presentation to the Supreme
Court at Washington. Such proceed
ings are rare, but l have no doubt OF
the courts decision on that point.

Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald I
SAN Francisco, September A.
Great prominence is given here by the
local newspapers to the changes an
nounced in the directory of the Nevada
Bank. According to the published ac-
counts the change was the natural
outcome of the recent big wheat deal.
Senator Fair retired from the bank
several years ago and the business re-
lations between him and Mackay and
Flood were not of the most cordial
nature. The present disagreement,
however, was healed few days ago,
and negotiations were entered into for
Fairs return to the bank. Senator
Fair recently sold his South Pacific
Coast railroad to the Southern Pacific
Company, and is supposed to have
been we'll equipped financially to take
the controlling interest in the bank.
AN INTERVIEW WITH FAIR.
James u. Fair, the new PRESIDENT OF
the Nevada Bank, was seen this after
noon. He said that under him the
bank would be conducted in a much
more conservative manner, and in
fact nothing but the strictest banking
business would be undertaken.
"Others may go in for speculation
as much as they please" said he,
"but the Bank has no business to
do so."
"What was the trouble then at the
bank ?'
"They got out of the line, sup
pose" was the Senator's unique an
swer. "They did not need my help,
but | suppose they did not have the
round pieces in abundance that they
ought to have had"
"Did not the bank speculate in the
wheat deal to a very considerable ex-
tent?"
81 suppose it is no secret that they
were overlooking on wheat md that
funds were running out faster than
they could afford or expected they
would -

TIMBER TROUBLES.
Government Suit Against the
Northern Pacific Company.


SEATTLE, September 14.-United
States Attorney White to-day filed a
bill in equity on behalf'of the Govern
ment against the Northern Pacific
Railroad and others, praying first for
an accounting with the Northern
Pacific railroad; secondly, for an in
junction restraining all defendants
from cutting timber on public lands,
and third, for payment to the Govern
ment of upwards of $2,000,000 by the
company for timber already unlaw-
fully cut and used in the construction
of the road and for other purposes.
THE ARGUMENT.
The United States attorney asserts
that the act of Congress authorizing the
roads to cut timber, ,expiredJuly4 4, 1879.
He further asserts that all the timber
cut from that date up to the present
was without authority of law. He al
leges that d portion of the Northern
Pacific road from Spokane Falls to
Wallula junction was constructed OF
timber from Kittitas and Yakima
counties, which are not adjacent to
that portion of the road and that the
timber for the Kenewhick bridge was
taken illegally.
NO LEGAL AUTHORITY.
Attorney White charges that timber
is being cut for the construction OF the
railroad from Wallula to Pendleton,
and for the railroad from Marsh II into
Whitman county without authority of
the law.
JUSTICE JONES' DECISION.
Chief Justice Jones refused to grant a
temporary injunction without notice
restraining the Northern Pacific Rail-
road and others from cutting timber
along the line Of the Cascade branch,
and set October 21st as the day for
hearing the case.

Impression I'm Italy.

SAN Francisco, September 14.-By
to-day's mail the Italian Chamber of
Commerce of this city received orders
Of samples of California canned fruits
from the Chambers OF Commerce of
Venice, Ferrara, Milan and Turin.
The principal fruits wanted are april
colts, peaches and Bartlett pears.
These fruits are raised in Italy and
sometimes dried, but the canning pro-
cess is not yet in vogue there. The
supply is limited, however, and if the
samples now being prepared for ship
ment meet the requirements of the
Italian market, valuable outlet for
the products named will be Sc
cured. The italian Chambers of Com
merce act as Representatives for the
great wholesale houses of the kingdom
and the Chambers have of late been

all kinds of California products which

The association is opposed to prohi-

wrong in principle, impossible Of en-
forcement and promotive of the worst
forms of deceit and hypocrisy. 1t en-
dorses the tax or license system, and
favors State enactments imposing a
reasonable license that will not
amount to prohibition. 1t deprecates
the endeavors of men in high public
positions to drag the wine and spirit
